NPC Generator/Designer

This is a tool I can't wait to get. NPC generation is so slow for me sometimes. I hope that the statblock will go perfectly into dmgenie
 

I tried starting up a dialog with them a while back because they were one of the few Char Management applications that had stat block import. I know we are close to looking the same but I can say I have added more information as of late to simple make the stat block more user friendly.

If they wish to talk, I am more then willing to take some time and figure out some way to meet what they need for stat block import.
 

Perhaps I'll post something on a few of the dm genie boards and get the community involved. That is the number one subject on the boards, a npc generator and that is the only thing that the competition have on dmgenie. HOpefully this will muster some response for you.

Question?
ARe you going to be displaying this product at gencon this year. Even if you can't get a booth if you get a few thousand flyers printed up with the website logo it could generate some advertisement
 

*chuckles* I think you have me confused with a commercial software company...
In case you have not wandered over to the website and checked it out, I also know I probably have not stated it alot even over there.

NPC Generator/Designer is free... no charge.. no cost

Now I would like some assistance from anyone that helps in debugging stat blocks and figuring out whats right and whats wrong. (With pride I can say we are at a point when it is not so easy to find things wrong)

As I have stated in the past, I started this project because I needed it.. I do not care what product you pay for from what company.. NPC Generation has not even been touched with any degree of detail. Now my design has changed and this has went from something I did that was just a little better then Jamie's to now where almost nothing is hard coded and it can handle pretty much every aspect of the game. Got the newest dragon last night and want to have some NPC's with the latest PrC, Template or even Race. You can add it yourself to the system. Want to write something worth publishing, why not have a stat block that looks professional, thats functional and 100's if not 1000's of man hours have been poured into it being correct and reliable.

Here is a little value add for DM Genie users.. Any person who uses DM Genie is probably pretty good with VBScript.. Guess what.. Every class, race, etc etc etc is added into the system and gets it's functionality from VBScript.
 

::shed's a tear:: bless your soul. Even though I"d gladly donate to the cause. The Gaming software community has been waiting for something like this. Roleplayinggamemaster has an npc generator on their software, but ithe software itself is heavy on the memory and tends the crash.
 

*chuckles* This is no offense to Luke, but I own RPM and had no idea it did...

As far as memory goes, ATM it takes up 13 megs when fully loaded BUT..

90% of what I am adding now does not take of memory
10%+ of it will be gone as soon as the lazy coder in charge cleans up some dead code.

Most crashes now come from script screw ups (I make my share) and I usually will create about 500 NPC's a day while I code and test.

Depending on what you are looking for, what I am doing may be overkill.
 


I am in the process of figuring out how I want to release it.. The first step will be to those who help beta testing stat blocks and such. They are pretty much the only ones I feel I owe anything to for they have helped greatly.
